The whole of the Republican Party, and RupertтАЩs stable Of talking headsтАж. The very definition of тАЬtrumpery.тАЭ тАЬTrumтАЩpery n. Deceit, fraud; anything calculated to deceive by false showтАж.тАЭ
I enjoy Elie MystalтАЩs opinions with enthusiasm. But in this case I think the crimes of DeSantis and Abbot and their enablers is abduction not kidnapping.
I would think any manipulation of status or custody of the people by the US Government, border administration, makes them accessory to the crimes.
I am a resident of WNY, where BuffaloтАЩs role as a sanctuary and provider of shelter and home to waves of refugees and immigrants dates back to the completion of the Erie Canal in 1825. This has brought us far more benefit than harm.
I think a sea change of this immigrant/ refugee situation must be forced by caring Americans, especially the religious to support humane efforts in the areas that generate the flows of desperate people and finding ways to include more into the nation.
The world threats create agonizing change that has few easy alternates.
As I read these comments, I am committing to joining the local Inter-Faith organization that helps settle refugees.I have made donations to them in the past. I think itтАЩs time for more hands on efforts. Be the change you want to see in the world!
